Verse 1:
 
           E 
If this is all I  
B       A 
have to give 
              E 
These written words  
  B          A 
exposing within 
         E 
And everyone has a  
B         A 
secret of sin 
            F#m 
Then why do I feel  
Abm  A 
all alone in the end 


Refrain: 

   C#m       B           E 
My fists are clenched in cold 
   C#m     B         A 
My fists unclench to hold 


 
            E 
I carry the fire 
           B 
I carry it home 
                  A 
I'll lead the way lighted 
                      C#m 
until the breaking of dawn 
  B             E 
Together our mistakes 
                   B 
The sun will shine out

And we'll carry on   carry on
 


Verse 2:
 
E          B           A 
  It's too late let it show 
         E    B 
From the underwear 
           A 
under your clothes 
                E 
Don't tell your mother 
           B        A 
that you're running low 
         F#m 
Don't confess to your 
Abm         A 
father that you don't know
